Venetian blind type dynodes were investigated to determine their suitability for use in electron-optically efficient photomultipliers for photometry. This was accomplished by means of the electrolytic trough. It was concluded that the nuclear-spectrometric resolution could probably be improved from a half-width of 7.5% to one of 6% or less if a secondary emission system were used that was more ideal than the blind-type dynode system; and that Venetian blind type multipliers are of no use when measurements calling for a short time rise are involved.
